Which minimally invasive procedures would help lift and increase volume in the midface with minimal invasiveness? (photo)

From the photo provided, there appears to be volume deficit in the cheeks. In the hands of an experienced injector, this can quite easily addressed with a robust volumizing HA filler for the cheeks. This can create a more heart-shaped, feminine face. The results are typically immediate and engender an immediate "Wow!" reaction. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler injector before considering jumping into invasive, aggressive and expensive surgeries that also involve prolonged post-operative downtime and the risk of scarring. Hope this helps.

Based on your preference for minimal invasiveness, I would recommend the following procedures:
1. **Dermal Fillers**: Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that can add volume and smooth out wrinkles and folds in your face. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Juvederm or Restylane are often used for this purpose. The procedure is quick, typically taking less than an hour, with results lasting from 6 months to 2 years.
2. **Non-Surgical Facelift (Thread lift)**: A thread lift is a non-surgical procedure that uses dissolvable threads to lift and tighten the skin. It can also stimulate collagen production, which can add volume over time.
3. **Ultherapy**: Ultherapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin. It can be used to target the midface area and stimulate collagen production, which can help to add volume.
It's important to note that while these procedures are minimally invasive, results may vary and multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist to further discuss these options and determine which one would be best for you.

You may be a good candidate for Renuva, which is a very effective filler that promote fat growth.

Make sure to consult with an experimented injector.

Best of luck !

cheek filler can effectively increase volume in the mid-face, addressing issues such as hollowness and providing a more youthful appearance. Many people find this treatment relatively comfortable with minimal discomfort, as healthcare professionals often use fine-gauge needles or cannulas to administer the filler. Additionally, many dermal fillers contain a local anesthetic, which can further reduce any discomfort during the injection process.
The procedure is typically quick, and patients can often resume their daily activities immediately afterward with minimal downtime. However, individual experiences may vary, and some people may experience mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites, which usually resolve within a few days.
It's essential to have this procedure performed by a qualified and experienced medical professional who specializes in facial aesthetics. They can assess your specific needs and use the appropriate filler and injection technique to achieve the desired results while ensuring your comfort during the procedure. Additionally, they can provide you with post-treatment care instructions to minimize any potential side effects and ensure the best outcome.

Sculptra is an option for you to help improve volume in the midface. This treatment is different than HA fillers. It takes longer to see final results, but it also lasts longer. I've included a video on Sculptra that explains how it works. I hope you find it helpful.

Maybe I am not seeing photo correctly but with the photo that I can see it would be impossible to present an opinion of your mid face. Please send photo that represents larger portion of your face.
